Annabelle 2 Conjures Up 2017 Release Date

Originally seen in The Conjuring, creepy doll Annabelle got her very own spinoff horror film back in 2014, and she will soon return to the big screen in sequel Annabelle 2. We don’t yet know much about the film, as it’s in the early stages of development, but a release date has just been scared up. Read on!

Deadline reports that Annabelle 2 will compete with Baywatch on May 19, 2017.

Suddenly, we can’t help but picture Annabelle in a bikini…

James Wan is once again producing, while Dave Neustadter and Walter Hamada oversee for New Line. Gary Dauberman, who penned the original, is hammering out the script. David F. Sandberg (Lights Out) is attached to direct.

Following the superb financial and critical reception to The Conjuring, a spinoff/prequel featuring the film’s creepy mascot – the possessed doll named Annabelle – was quickly rushed into production. Loosely based on a true story, the film follows a couple who find that their vintage doll becomes the host for a malevolent entity after their house is broken into by a satanic cult.
